This is linkbait because it suggests that Apple is rejecting any app that uses Dropbox. That's patently untrue. For example:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drafts/id502385074 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drafts/id502385074
It looks like Apple is rejecting apps that use the Dropbox SDK in a way that violates the TOS. But then the headline may as well read, "Apple rejecting applications which use code."
- rogerchucker 15y agoSo bloody what if it is linkbait? The issue at hand deserves attention and debate.
- chc 15y agoBased on what Apple seem to be indicating to the people in the OP thread, it's the behavior of the Dropbox SDK itself that they're objecting to. If Drafts made it through by anything except dumb luck, Agile Tortoise must either a) have gone out of its way to circumvent how the SDK normally works, or b) be using a deprecated SDK version from before Apple started objecting. (I don't have Drafts or I'd check to myself, but feel free to check the SDK version if you do.)
- nknight 15y agoYou should look up what "linkbait" actually means. A forum discussion between developers about a problem using the Dropbox SDK in the iOS app store assuredly does not qualify.
- neotek 15y agoI think he's referring to the article title, which makes an implication that seems designed to cause anger over a policy that isn't quite as corrupt as the title might suggest.
